I am so angry right now after reading that someone would have the nerve to
even think of entering their ferrets into a show (never mind selling their
products that have probably been exposed to this virus if it can be).  I
am sorry but this person should be investigated or should have been
checked out sooner to see if this was true and should NOT be allowed in
just for the safety of other ferrets and fun of the show!  Why should
ferret owners be "punished" by going through all these precautions because
of some ignorant, selfish person?  This rumor should be checked out
throroughly before this show and this person and products not allowed in
(sorry, ferrets lives are more important than one persons feelings about
winning ribbons IFthis is true).  OR this show should be cancelled till
further notice.  Risking any spread of disease especially something like
this is not worth any ribbon!!!
